Did you know that you have to stir clockwise when you stir your oatmeal? Otherwise you’re letting the devil into your porridge. Everyone knows this - at least in the village of Carrbridge in the Scottish Highlands. For 30 years the town has hosted the World Porridge Championships. This year it’s a special championship because it’s the last time Charlie Miller will be in charge of the festivities.
An robh fios agad gu feum thu na tha am pòit le min-choirc a chur mun cuairt deiseal? Cumaidh sin an Sàtan a-mach às an lit agad. Tha làn fhios aca air an sin an Drochaid Char air a’ Ghàidhealtachd. Tha Farpais na Cruinne airson a bhith a’ dèanamh lit, air a bhith sa bhaile bho chionn 30 bliadhna. Seo am bliadhna mu dheireadh a bhios Charlie Miller òs a chionn.

Gu 1979, ‘s e glè bheag, film às na h-eileanan, no mu dheidhinn na h-eileanan a tha ann an Tasglann Film Gluasadach ann an Leabharlann Nàiseanta na h-Alba, a chaidh a cruthachadh ach, le filmichean neach-clàraidh bho taobh a muigh na sgìre. Dh’fhàg sin, eadar cinn beachd nan tùsanaich, fiosrachadh nach robh buileach ceart, gun eòlas air an dòigh beatha, cleas romansach agus coimhead sìos air eileanaich, gu robh tric sealladh air beatha nan eilean gun a bhith buileach mar a bha e ann an da-rìreabh.. Thoisich Faodàil airson sin a chur ceart, agus thathas air cruth-digiteach a chur air 25 uair a thìde de film 8mm. Chaidh na filmichean a bha a’ cuimseachadh air an àrainneachd mu na 70an agus na 80an, a clàradh le Anna Dhòmhnallach Chnoc na Luib Uibhist a Tuath.
